I agree most with Reed's Law, this law is also known as web 2.0 and deals with social media. Social media is becoming more and more relevant to all ages in both professional and non-professional aspects. The ages of people actively using social media websites range from 9-90. With that being said there are all sorts of information and entertainment that appeals to almost any type of person at any age. Social media is 100% online wether it is accessed on a person's cell phone or computer, making the vast information accessible in an instant. People used to get their information from newspapers, but that is slowly changing due to the inexpensive cost and how many people are able to be reached by social media in a much faster way. Five years from now, I predict that nothing will change, unless social media somehow finds a way to become even more progressive.

Why do people blog? There are many reasons why people blog, this reading showed that there are 5 major reasons why people blog: documenting ones life, providing commentary and opinions, expressing emotions, articulating ideas, and forming and maintaing community forums. There is no right or wrong way to blog. Blogging has several different uses from politics, to keeping up with family or friends, to expressing yourself in a journalistic way. Blogging is interesting because there are no set rules. A person can make their blog as interesting or as boring as they please; its their blog. Everyone has their own personal codes of ethics dictating what gets put in their blog and what stays out. Blogs can be interesting and helpful, but they can also be hurtful to certain people as I found in the reading. One guy advertised his blog url to the public and then ended up hurting one of his friends feelings because he used a personal example and a friends actual name. Eventually the blogger realized what he had done and took down his blog as well as his advertisement. One must be careful when blogging or putting anything on the internet for that matter because it is all traced back to a persons online identity. I think blogging is a great way for people to be themselves and stay connected.
